Visocchi’s ice cream shop is stowed out, the beer gardens are filling up and shoppers are dusting off their sunglasses.
Not to jinx it – but it feels like spring is on the way in Broughty Ferry.
We headed to the Dundee suburb to find out how locals are dressing for the warmer weather.

David Stewart, 70
What do you do for a living?
I am retired, however I used to work in the building trade.
What are you wearing?
The trousers and jacket are from shops in Broughty Ferry which are now closed. The shirt is from a shop in Perth, but I don’t remember the name of it. And the hat is from a shop in St Andrews. Again I think it is closed now.
How would you describe your style?
Personal. I always like to dress smart.
Where do you like to shop?
It depends on what I’m looking for. The trouble today is that every town and city has the same shops. There’s not the same variety. But I do most of my shopping in Perth and St Andrews, where there are some nice independent shops. I like independent shops because you get clothes that you don’t see everywhere else and they tend to be of better quality.
Who is your style icon?
I don’t have one. I just dress like me.
